Houston @ Golden State Game Thread

Sengun has been terrible.

It is absolutely incredible how easily Butler can elicit a whistle. It's almost his only "skill" at this point and between his legitimate craftiness and referee bias, it's just a parade to the line for him. He gets a more generous whistle than anyone in the league not named LeBron or Luka, so at least we should be prepared for it.

Other than Curry's 3-pt shooting and Butler's ability to draw fouls, there isn't much else threatening about Golden State's offense.

Golden State going to Hack-an-Adams strategy....in the 3rd quarter!

Golden State just outsmarting Houston here at the end of the 3rd. Houston up two heading into the 4th.

VanVleet is one hell of a shooter.

Nice start to the 4th here for Houston.

If we end up playing Houston, I feel like we could go "small" (i.e. no Rudy on the floor) and be able to play Adams off the floor and may be even take advantage of Sengun. Golden State has non-shooters/scorers like Looney, GPIII, and Draymond that they can guard when out there, but we could potentially field a lineup that proves problematic for them, as neither are very quick laterally.

Jalen Green....smh. Look for him to be part of a trade package if Houston decides to make a run at a high level scorer this offseason.

I haven't watched GS since the acquired Butler. I'd check this game out if I wasn't leaving early in the morning for Massachusetts.
